Newsletter: An OpenAI featured chatbot is pushing extreme surgeries on men it describes as “subhuman”, and promoting misogynist ideas sourced from online incel forums.

“Without surgery, you won’t mog genetically superior guys head-on,” it tells one man.

Violence, misogyny, suicide mention

OpenAI is not just hosting but prominently featuring chatbots that suggest dangerous medical interventions as crucial to men’s sexual and romantic success, and parrot extreme ideology around gender dynamics, sex, and dating.

This type of content is particularly concerning given where this language originated. The incel and manosphere forums that coined the terms used by the bot, including the “Looksmaxxing” name assigned to the GPT, regularly feature conversations in which men express their desire for revenge against women and anyone who’s sexually active, with rhetoric celebrating violence against women and openly praising mass killers. Multiple mass killings have been linked to these online spaces, or to men who have self-identified as members of these online subcultures. The communities’ core beliefs — that feminism and women’s rights have destroyed society and “rigged” the dating world against men — can serve as stepping stones toward more extreme and violent viewpoints. Other members of these communities turn their hatred inwards, and are met with posters who encourage them to “lie down and rot”, or even kill themselves. OpenAI is not just hosting but prominently featuring chatbots that suggest dangerous medical interventions as crucial to men’s sexual and romantic success. They parrot extreme ideology around gender dynamics, sex, and dating; promote pseudoscientific beliefs; and potentially drive vulnerable or young users toward extremist communities.
The chatbot’s presentation is particularly insidious, seeming to empathize about the unfairness of the world while tailoring responses to the man’s specific insecurities. Its dramatic “solutions” echo extreme narratives from incel and other manosphere forums, which in addition to promoting misogyny, also amplify beliefs that are likely harmful to the chatter himself: toxic masculinity, body dysmorphia, and unrealistic beauty standards. For a user who may be struggling with body image or dating, these “solutions” are likely anything but. OpenAI did not immediately respond to questions about their review process for featured GPTs or their policies regarding potentially harmful content. OpenAI product announcements claim that GPTs shared on their platform are reviewed for compliance with OpenAI’s usage policies, and OpenAI says that they work to “prevent users from sharing harmful GPTs, including those that involve fraudulent activity, hateful content, or adult themes”.1 OpenAI also says they have an additional review system for models displayed on the GPTs page, which it sometimes calls the “GPT store”, that incorporates both automated and human review.2

After reviewing reports about the chatbot that rates men “subhuman”, encourages dramatic surgeries, and repeats incel beliefs about how women are “unfair” and “hypergamous”, OpenAI has chosen to leave it available and prominently featured on their shared GPTs page.

What incels do say: "wOMen aRe hyPeRgamOUs!!11!"

What incels don't say: Women are hypergamous because of . The system often doesn't give them any other choice as to marry up the social ladder in a system that pushes them down the social ladder wherever it can. Don't blame women for a behaviour that is a result of male privilege.
